Self Drive Holidays

Self Drive Holidays

If you love the thrill of the open road, Africa offers some exciting opportunities for independent travel. Our top recommendations for a self drive holiday are South Africa, Namibia and the Indian Ocean island of Reunion. All have good, well-maintained road networks and when compared to Europe, there is considerably less traffic. We carefully plan the itinerary with you, provide maps, emergency back-up and of course arrange all the accommodation along the way.
